Life Is For Living

by Nellie

I was recently graced with the luck to find a copy of Eric Butterworth's "Life Is For Living". This book has changed my thinking, and that means changed my life. As part of the Unity Church, Butterworth speaks from a Christian point of view, but never is he dogmatic or insistent on Christianity as the only way. What he does do is set us free to be happy.

Throughout the book he uses practical analogies to explain such joyous ideas as immortality. For example, he compares our spirit, life energy, to an electrical current. Has the electricity gone just because the switch is off? Of course not, it just awaits the next cycle. It is the same with our spirit, and so we can relax, drop the fear of death, and truly live!

Can you imagine living every day in joy? This is the vision shared in "Life Is For Living". In support of that vision, the book lays out very practical, everyday actions we can all do to enjoy a life lived with joy. I highly recommend this book!
